The imperial doctor replied: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured, but not at all. He needs to rest for a few days."
"Your Majesty, Gao Ming can't welcome you from afar, and I hope to forgive you."
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he was about to get up, but he almost fell down.
Cheng Yaojin strode forward, wanting to help Li Chengqian, but when he saw Xu Jingzong, his face became contemptuous and nauseated.Failed to go up, had to shout:
"His Royal Highness, be careful."
Li Chengqian is not stingy with others, he has tea for tea and wine for wine, and he doesn't care about anything. Among these princes, Cheng Yaojin likes Li Chengqian the most. Now that he is injured, he is also sad. Although he was unwilling to come with Xu Jingzong, he still came.
Li Shimin was so angry that his whole face turned blue, and Empress Changsun helped Li Chengqian up as soon as she came in, and wailed: "Whoever kills a thousand swords, why is he so cruel to my son!"
At this time, Li Chengqian said in a weak voice: "Aniang, that assassin has been caught by my men, ahem..."
"My son, don't talk, your Majesty will definitely decide for you."
"Your Majesty, the murderer behind the scenes must be brought to justice!"
"I'll ask someone to investigate! It's really audacious for someone to dare to do such a thing."
Wang Guifei on the side had a playful expression, and she said softly: "Huh, let's get retribution now, let you be arrogant, you, the crown prince, may be at the root of his illness."
Her voice was not heard, it was as small as a mosquito.
At this time Li Shimin said: "Come on, bring the assassin! I want to interrogate him myself, and I must find out who is behind it!"
Li Chengqian was sneering in his heart, if this is the case, then the concubine Wang Guifei on one side might have to beat her, even the Wang family.The people of this Wang family are really not open-eyed, they provoked the prince, and dared to let Wang Guifei come to find Li Chengqian. Of course, Li Chengqian knew that Li Shimin was going to use the Wang family to blame. After all, if there are too many entanglements in a family, it is not conducive to ruling. , especially the control over the economy, made the initiative that originally belonged to Datang become insignificant.
The assassin was quickly caught, his limbs were crippled, and his mouth was covered in blood, so he couldn't speak at all.
"what happened?"
"Your Majesty, it's like this. I once had this assassin interrogated. Unexpectedly, he was so stubborn that he even bit off his own tongue. However, we found one thing from him!"
Although Li Chengqian's voice was low, everyone could understand him.
I saw that he asked Guan Lishi to take out a sachet, which was exquisitely carved, and there was also a vaguely carved word for king.
This item was found when Li Chengqian was beating Wang Wei, and he didn't think much about it that day, he just kept his stuff, but he didn't expect it to be used today.
The assassin felt very wronged at this time, he obviously didn't say anything, his tongue was cut off and he was framed.
So it seems that people get stolen goods at the same time, so it seems that there is no one in this matter.
Empress Changsun said coldly: "This Wang family seems to be the only one who has anything to do with Gao Ming! Hmph! How dare you put your mind on my son, I have nothing to do with you!"
Her eyes were about to burst into flames, and now the Taiyuan Wang family seemed to be in trouble.
At this time, Xu Jingzong said:
"What if someone framed it, Your Majesty? We can ask the assassin to write who instigated it."
"Xu Jingzong, please write and see, everyone has been abolished, how do you write?"
Cheng Yaojin replied.
For Xu Jingzong, he was disgusting to the extreme. After that day, he also heard people say that he was so ashamed that he didn't go out for several days, it was all because of Xu Jingzong.
"This……"
Li Chengqian thought of everything Xu Jingzong could think of.
And there is Fang Xuanling, he said: "The Wang family seems to be in trouble recently. I can see that they are the most suspected from the investigation of Wang Wei's direct family."
In this investigation, even Wang Guifei might be investigated, of course she was the first one who was unwilling.
She said: "Xing Guogong, I don't like to hear your words. Why do you conclude that it is Wang Wei's direct lineage? What if it is another Wang surname?"
Xing Guogong is the title of Xing Guogong, just like Cheng Yaojin.
In order to protect herself, Wang Guifei had no choice but to say this. After all, there are several branches of the Taiyuan Wang family in the entire Chang'an City. Why directly investigate her branch?
What Wang Guifei said makes sense, how to check now has become a key point.
At this time, Li Chengqian deliberately guided him: "The defenses in my imperial city are very strong, and it is basically impossible for people to enter the East Palace quietly, unless there are people who cooperate with each other."
With such a reminder from him, everyone immediately started discussing it.
Because people think what Li Chengqian said is very reasonable.
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, maybe someone coveted the crown prince's position, and then united with the royal family to enter the palace to assassinate, otherwise how could this assassin come in?"
Now someone's eyes shifted to Wang Guifei, and her suspense should be the greatest.
She was so frightened that she quickly said: "They all watched me do what I did, and it wasn't me who did it!"
Empress Changsun said:
"Xing Guogong is right, this possibility cannot be ruled out."
Li Chengqian's guidance caused the flames of war to spread to the surrounding concubines, and all those who coveted his crown prince's position would be investigated as a warning.This is a big game, a bitter trick to play the whole thing to a great extent.
After thinking for a while, Li Shimin said: "Investigate! Xing Guogong, I order you to investigate this case, and you will find out the truth within three days!"
"Yes!"
"Gao Ming, I will send people to protect you these few days, and I will deploy troops throughout the East Palace to keep you safe."
"Your Majesty, there is no need, I have masters to protect me."
"who?"
Guan Lishi replied for Li Chengqian: "This man's name is Xue Rengui, and he captured this assassin alive."
Li Shimin glanced at Xue Rengui and said:
"Sure enough, the heroic boy deserves a reward! A big reward!"
If it wasn't for him, Li Chengqian would have died in this meeting, so the big award is a matter of course, and Xue Rengui's name has been remembered by Li Shimin since then.
They chatted for a while, Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling because he still had something to do:
"Xing Guogong, everything will be troublesome. Everyone, let Gao Ming recover from his injuries."
"Gao Ming, take good care of your wounds, and come see you tomorrow for your mother."
"Thank you Ma'am!"
